Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya De la Rosa Ramirez (Adrian R'Mante) was a fan favorite on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. From his quirky nicknames for people to his unusual stories to his pet chicken Dudley, it was pretty much impossible not to love him.

Last year, MTV News wrote about what he was up to these days, but a recent pic on his Instagram now has us looking at what he was up to back in the day.

For his #TBT, R'Mante shared a pic from his modeling days, or at least from the time he wanted to be a model.

"#Tbt to when I thought I was a model. Hey, one thing is for certain...I tried!," he captioned the pic, adding several hashtags after, "#Modelwannabe #model #estebanjulioricardomontoyadelarosaramirez #estebanloveslittlemix #littlemixer."

1. I love that he hashtagged out his character's ridiculously long name.

A couple of comments on the photo support R'Mante-the-Model, with one person simply writing, "You succeeded," while another wrote, "Esteban getting frisky."

Remember how we said Esteban was a "stone-cold fox"? See? We were totally, 100 percent right.

Besides this interesting revelation, R'Mante shared a fun reunion pic with a special Suite Life costar a little while back. Do you recall Holly O'Neil (Sammi Hanratty), the pint-size hustler who was way too smart for her own good?

She and her dad Harry (Eric Lutes) conned the Tipton staff, as well as Zack (Dylan Sprouse) and Cody (Cole Sprouse), into getting free stuff and awesome perks -- until their cover was blown clear off the roof, of course.

Well, turns out she and R'Mante are still BFFs, 10 years later.

"This marks the 10th year having this amazing person in my life! Stay special!" captioned R'Mante. Hanratty also shared the pic on her own Instagram, writing, "10 years later and Esteban and Holly are still best buds." D'aww.
